Mr. Speaker, Canadians are proud of the international recognition the CBC has so deservedly received of late.
I am delighted to pay tribute today to the English CBC TV network, which has just won the prestigious "Rose d'argent" at the Montreux festival in Switzerland.
The CBC has won the Rose d'argent for its fine production of "Kurt Browning-You Must Remember This".
It was also announced at a press conference last week that Radio-Canada had won the most prestigious prize at the Banff Television Festival. This prize, which was awarded for the first time to a Canadian broadcaster, honours the overall achievements and especially the quality of serial dramas on the French television network of our public broadcaster. Congratulations!
